The Look

The Look

Tuesday, August 12, 2014

  I came across a YouTube video the other day titled "Is Your Red The Same As My Red"

 
     It's a question I've wondered about for a long time. It's also one that will likely never be answered. Your perception of what red is could be vastly different from mine. Yours could actually be a color that my brain can't even comprehend. I suppose that everyone could have their own unique perception of the color red (and every other color). I've also got a theory that everyone's favorite color, whether it's red, green, yellow, or whatever color, is the exact same. That the hue that my mind perceives for red, a favorite color of mine, could be the same hue that your mind perceives for the color green, which is your favorite color (for the sake of argument. I'm not gonna tell you what color to like). I'm fascinated by theories like this. Something that makes me think. Hopefully outside the box. I wonder if the colors black and white are in the same category. I suspect that a lot of artistic choices made by the great masters were influenced by their perceptions of color. Something to think about. Anyway, here's a new painting:
"Soon There Will Be Rain"

  It's kinda odd that the painting I chose to put on here happened to be an abstract-ish painting that started with a picture of a brain. Circle of life, or some such. My head's starting to hurt. I'm gonna go draw.
